Chapter 31: The Lost Priest
Chapter 31 The Downcast Priest
The soldiers went out and Paul closed the door to his room.
The priest suddenly did not calm down when he saw this, and cold sweat seeped out from his forehead, “Lord Greiman, although I know to the fact that I look like a jade and a good-looking man, I have long since offered everything I have to the Lord of Light. “
Paul: “Uh? What did you say? Never mind, first take off your clothes for me and I’ll take a look.”
Done and done, looks like it’s hard to escape today. Alas, being too handsome is also a sin, although I’ve heard that the nobles and the upper echelons of the church are good at this, I just didn’t expect such a young kid to be tainted with this vice.
“O Lord of Light! Forgive your servant.” The priest prayed silently, then plopped down on the bed and turned his head to Paul with tears in his eyes, “Please be gentle~”
“Get the fuck up right now!”
Paul stormed out, his face turning the color of a pig’s liver, realizing what the guy was thinking, pulling out his musket and trying to feed him peanuts, how could a straight man like my brother do something that nasty.
“Ah? Ah! Okay okay. Hey hey sorry.” The priest was as if he had been pardoned, finally preserving his chastity no matter what.
It took a while to curb the urge to shoot the man in front of him, Paul took a few deep breaths and said through gritted teeth, “Your clothes are torn, and I see a very interesting tattoo on your body.”
“Shit! How did he recognize that?” The priest screamed.
“Heh heh! Lord Greymane, you must be blind.”
“No, no, no, I definitely didn’t blink! And I’ve seen this shark-shaped tattoo on all the members of the Shark Gang. But then again, the location of Mr. ‘Father”s tattoo is really unique.”
“This …… this ……”
“Say! What exactly are you?”
Paul pressed as he pointed his blackened gun at the middle-aged man who called himself “Father”.
“I’m really a priest of the church!” The middle-aged man once again paralyzed on the ground and begged for mercy, that thing in the Count’s hand is capable of killing people, without waiting for the questioning, he confessed a whole lot of words like a bamboo tube.
According to the confession, his name is John Morrison, was originally a priest of a country church in a nearby territory, but the shark gang came to plunder, robbed a lot and kidnapped him. He thought he was going to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, unexpectedly the pirate leader shark even forced him to join the pirate group. Although this gang of pirates kill and set fire to no evil, but including the boss of the shark, including a lot of people even have not low ‘spiritual needs’, need a real clergyman to preside over the pirates’ penance, prayers and other activities.
In this way, Father John Morrison very ungrateful part-time pirates this honorable and promising profession, the body was also tattooed with the gang symbol – a shark with sharp teeth, in the pirate group for a year.
For pirates also believe in religion, Paul does not feel strange, the earth does not also have some sinful people like to burn incense and worship Buddha? And the more sins committed the more superstitious.
But this John Morrison still want to interrogate interrogation, he picked up a thick “Holy Scripture” that fell next to the cabinet, this guy is estimated to have been holding this book in the cabinet.
“Let me ask you, what is the one hundred and thirty-second page in this book that says something?”
“The heavens and earth suddenly lit up like day, and that majestic voice rang out of nowhere ……,” Morrison unexpectedly recited, and a whole page down word for word.
Continued to let him recite a few other places, also recited word for word.
“There are two brushes.”
“Hehehe! Your Excellency is overpraised.”
“Well, let’s just trust your priestly status for now!”
Morrison couldn’t help but be overjoyed, “Thank you Lord Gleeman, can you send someone I send back to ……”
“Do you want to die or want to live?” Paul once again aimed his blackened gun at Morrison.
Nima! Just jumped out of the wolf’s den and entered the tiger’s mouth again! Father Morrison could not cry, are all these lords the same as robbers now?
“Lord Gleeman, you threaten a clergyman like this ……”
“Touch!” With a loud bang, Morrison felt something fly past his side, his intuition drove him to turn around, and a large hole in the wall stood out to him.
Then the door to the room was kicked open in a flash, and a large number of soldiers rushed in, weapons raised and aimed at Morrison.
It was a frightening sight, Heavenly Father, you must bless your followers. Morrison was busy nodding his head vigorously, “Want to live! Of course he wants to live.” If that thing in Paul’s hand is a little bit more biased, it is estimated that his head will be opened.
“Very well! I enlist you to serve in my army in the name of the Lord of Arda, Earl Paul Greiman.”
“Uh …… but Lord Gleiman, I can’t lift it with my hands or carry it on my shoulders.”
“Oh, you don’t want to? Well, I won’t kill you either, so I’ll just hand you over to the Northwest Bishop to deal with. Hehehe, a clergyman actually stayed in a pirate’s den for a year, and there are pirate tattoos on his body, I don’t know how the Lord Bishop will sentence it.”
“It is my supreme honor to serve you!”
Morrison’s face immediately appeared as if he had heard an oracle.
“Don’t worry, it’s just for you to do some ideological work and fulfill the religious needs of the soldiers. You know, it’s not like we can move churches around when we march to war, so you, the accompanying priest, will come in handy.”
Morrison didn’t hesitate, “I follow your orders, Lord Gleeman.” Looking at the stance just now, this little earl was not a good one to talk to.
Paul said, “However, there are some things you should say and some things you shouldn’t say when engaging in ‘thought work’ ……”
He suddenly remembered that a large group of soldiers had just rushed in the room, and turned his words around, “Forget it, I will slowly teach you later. I won’t treat you poorly if you do a good job, but don’t expect me to keep your ‘little secret’ if you make any small moves.”
Morrison raised his right hand with a solemn face, “In this sacred place, I swear to the Father in heaven that I will enter the service of Lord Gleeman’s army, and from now on, I will be loyal to Paul Gleeman, if he tells me to go east, I will never go west, and if he tells me to drive the dog, I will never shoo the chicken.”
Not to mention, this guy really looks like that when he gets serious.
I’ll be damned if I believe you! Paul secretly slandered, but still introduced to the surrounding soldiers: “This is a clergyman who was taken captive by pirates, imprisoned here, his original church was burned by pirates in a fire. Did you all hear what he said just now? He will be our accompanying priest from now on. Haha, that gunshot just now was me messing around with Mr. Priest.”
The crowd responded, “Yes, Lord Earl.”
……
“On the Xth day of the sixth month of the year 1990 of the Holy Calendar, that was my first meeting with St. Paul. At that time, I was imprisoned by pirates in the church of Port Fullan, they forced me to serve the pirate group, but I had loyalty to the Lord of Light in my heart, how could I succumb to the forces of evil, the pirates tortured and humiliated me in every possible way, I knew that this was God’s test for me, and I was always holding on strongly by my willpower. Just as I was dying, it was Lord St. Paul who led the army and rescued me. When I saw him for the first time, a soft light shone on his body, and a majestic voice from the underworld resounded in my mind: follow him and assist him. I knew that it was an oracle given to me by the Lord of Light, and without hesitation I joined his army and aided him in creating a great cause that I did not even dare to think of at the time. ” – Excerpt from the memoirs of John Morrison, the two hundred and fiftieth Pope of the Church of Light.
“It was a day of sin, the exact details of which are no longer available. What is certain, however, is that from that day forward, the traitor Morrison sold his soul to the Devil Gleeman and became his pawn, and evil began to encroach upon the Church of Light, accompanied by corruption and depravity, eventually falling into the role of a tool for the Devil Gleeman to manipulate people.” — Excerpt from a pamphlet promoting a certain underground sect that boasts of the orthodoxy of the Church of Light.
